Why could the mass of argon be greater than the mass of potassium even though it has a lower atomic number?

Chemistry

The mass given on the periodic table is the weighted average of the abundance of isotopes. Because heavier isotopes (more neutrons) of argon are more abundant than potassium's, by pure statistics, argon will appear with a greater mass on the periodic table.


in easy way

we can also say :- Argon has  greater proportions of heavier isotopes with more neutrons than potassium.

A scientist has isolated a fatty acid that has 26 carbons. most of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain are connected by sin
Shtirlitz [24]
Answer:
            <span>Based on giveninformation, the compound is a <u>Poly Unsaturated</u> fatty acid.

Explanation:
                   Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with -COOH functional group and a chain of hydrocarbons.

Fatty Acids are classified as,

i) Saturated Fatty Acids:
                                      Those Fatty Acids in which there is no double bond between the carbon chain are called as saturated fatty acids. 

Examples:
                 Lauric Acid           </span>CH₃(CH₂)₁₀COOH<span>

                 Myristic Acid         </span>CH₃(CH₂)₁₂COOH<span>

                 Palmitic Acid         </span>CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH

ii) Unsaturated Fatty Acids:
                                      Those Fatty Acids in which contain a single double bond (mono-unsaturated) or more than one double bond (poly-unsaturated) d between the carbon atoms in a chain are called as unsaturated fatty acids. 

Examples:
                 <span>Linoleic acid
</span>
                 <span>Vaccenic acid

                 </span><span>Palmitoleic acid

The saturated fatty acid containing 26 carbon atoms is called as Cerotic acid. While cerotic acid containing a double bond at position 3 and 9 has a IUPAC name H</span>exacosa-3,9-dienoic acid with following structure.
